Molly sighed for the umpteenth time that day as she stared hopelessly at an extremely empty display.
"Third time this week" she muttered to herself and she went about picking up scattered misshapen bolts and debris. It was true. All this week displays at the museum had been mysteriously disappearing without any trace except for a few bits of paper and the odd bolt or two. No one was stealing them. The security would have picked something like that up. The displays would simply be gone. Molly dumped the trash into the bin and trudge back to the main desk. It was almost closing time thank god.
"Hey Molly, did you pick up that trash I told you to?" Charlie asked from his desk. Charlie was the manager of the museum but he always worked at the front desk for observing purposes. Personally Molly thought he just enjoyed the look of pure terror in an employee's eyes when someone screws up.
"Yeah I just finished" Molly replied, picking up her work bag and slinging it over her shoulder.
"Molly, I need you to work night shift. Julius has seemingly quit" Charlie announced.
"What do you mean Julius quit! He loves his job" Molly exclaimed not wanting to work the night shift as all.
"It appears that Julius has gone missing. The police came round yesterday asking about him. Apparently he never came back to his wife after Wednesday's night shift so we have no one to work it" Charlie explained.
"Fine but you seriously owe me Charlie" Molly groaned and dropped her bag back onto her chair. It landed with a small thud. Charlie grinned.
"Thanks Molls. Remember to lock up" he said, scooped up his bags and jacket, and left without even saying a proper good-bye. Molly banged her head against the desk in frustration. Her job sucked.
"Doctor, what's going on?" Amy asked as the Doctor ran around the TARDIS console. A seemingly endless bleeping noise was emitting from the tangle of odds and ends that seemed to make up the console. The Doctor ignored his companion's question and continued his buzzing.
"Doctor, are you listening?" Amy exclaimed, annoyed at the thought of the Doctor not listening to her. Suddenly the Doctor abruptly slammed down an odd lever which caused the TARDIS to jerk to one side causing the unprepared Ponds off guard. Amy and Rory fell to the TARDIS floor in a heap.
"Sorry Ponds!" the Doctor shouted.
Molly kicked her feet as she walked around the eerily quiet hallways of the museum. She had been doing this for the past hour and a half. If her punishment didn't end soon Molly would go insane from boredom. Plus the museum after hours was creepy. Suddenly, something caught Molly's attention and perked her interest. She strolled over to a statue of a woman with wings whose face was hidden behind her grey stone hands.
"Odd… I've never seen you round her" she murmured, eye-balling the statue. Something sent a bone-chilling shiver down Molly's spine. She spun around on her heels and walked back into the hallway. That's funny, Charlie never mentioned having a stone angel statue. And what a funny statue it is, Molly thinks to herself and glances behind her shoulder. Molly's jaw dropped. The statue wasn't hiding behind its hands. Its face was staring directly at Molly's back.
"But wait… hold on. Is this a joke or something? Julius is that you?" Molly called out into the room her voice a little shaky. No one replied. Molly turned around and hurried down the hall but still she felt something behind her. Whirling around Molly was met with a shock. The stone angel was inches from her face, a murderous snarl on its once peaceful looking stone face. Molly let out a blood curdling scream and took off running down the corridor.
